General chit chat

General chit chat

Hi@Faith-and-Hope, @utopia, @Mazarita

I'm still not very good at 'navagating' this site, maybe that's why I kept trying 'instant' chat sites - they seemed easier. But I like that messages can be checked, that it's not instant feels like some sort of barrier against instant shock I suppose - though I know this is a public Internet site so anyone can use it. I also think, though I hate the term Mental Illness, as I think it takes all the physical out of it, that the people that cause trauma probably suffer from it, so they would have just as much right to use it. But I feel a bit like typing I think, so I thought I might just blurb a little?
I've went away for a few days. I go every month. I visit the center of my Universe 🙂 The one person who has been there with/for me, their whole life & I believe will remain that way until I die 🙂 . . . & quite the large Family they have provided for me to share in 🙂 I go from, it almost seems like another Planet sometimes, my life is very quiet; to the center of my Universe, which includes 5 grand-children ranging in age from almost 2 to, going on 18; then there's the partner, the partners Parents and a large variety of friends 🙂 I often find myself thinking 'alein sound dimension' - there's so much noise on so many different levels! Every single one of them has every gadget known to mankind, and most of those gadgets make noise! And my World is a lot calmer, with a lot less going on - we're usually driving in the car, taking children to school, doing whatever shopping is necessary for the day in time for whatever seemingly endless appointment is due, . . . by the time my alarm goes off to make sure I wake up in time to get tired in time to go to sleep in time 😄 There's no way I could keep that pace up anymore! After a few days I find myself almost running away with my tail between my legs 🙂 But it's the perfect balance really, I do spend a lot of time alone - apart from my 3 furry, four-legged friends; but I am extremely lucky, my bond with my only child is of a strength I can't see breaking; I get a phone call or text every night & welcomed by a dozen open arms and smiling faces every month. I am lucky, I have a good life. Well, I think life is just a word, neither good nor bad. I have good experiences and I am happy 🙂

Hi @Former-Member, @outlander, I am at Friday Feast at the moment, but I've been hanging out here reading while waiting for outlander's drawing to come through. I love it too!!! My favourite of all your drawings, outlander!!! I do hope you will keep drawing. It makes me happy to follow your art.

Chat more later, I hope. Or maybe you might drop in to Friday Feast. Either way sending love.

Re: General chit chat

really glad you like it @Former-Member my first picture was actually different but pops friend bumped the table and black line all across the page. wasnt happy at all considering it took me hrs to get the legs right. it was dinner time so was drawing while things were simmering and cooking away so thought i was ok to come out and finish some of the drawing but nope. i even tried to retrace it and i couldnt get it right so for you to like this one makes me pretty happy Niqua. took me forever to get the head sizing right on this horse. it was too small then too big and finally got it to look normal.

thank you @Mazarita i dont plan on giving up drawing, just alot slower these days in getting them done. might do a horse head with the star next. that one will probably be in black and white but not sure yet.

Re: General chit chat

I'm sorry the first pic got bumped Claire @outlander, but maybe the Universe had to do that so that you would draw this one! 🙂 !

He's a beautiful horse and absolutely wonderfully drawn . . . but he still doesn't beat my favourite ever, yellow and orange, very own Planet!!!!! It's pretty hard to beat that one in my mind 😄

Love to you both Claire and Mazy @Mazarita 🙂

Re: General chit chat

Good morning, Niqua.

I love your beehive (so much, as it gives me a real life glimpse of you!)

And I love your list of bird and wild life where you are. As I imagined might be the case, where you live is rich with creatures. It makes me glad to know you are not so alone, with all those animals around (though I understand the wisdom of keeping a distance from some, such as the feral pigs).

It will be the rare currawong and the butcher birds who will be sending my love to you, Niqua. Yes, those little musical birds, the butchies. There have been so many of them in places I've lived for a long time now. Their song and language is the most complex I have every heard from a bird. C and I once spent a full 10 minutes on a verandah listening attentively to the little butchie talking to us in a long conversational stream from the railing. So musical and intelligent! We've even had them inside the flat on occasions. They are friendly, courageous little birds and I love them.

You and your child seem to be riding this one out very well indeed. It makes me so glad to know there has been no lasting rift of any kind.

Hope today is a good one for you, dear friend.

Gidday Mazy @Mazarita, Claire @outlander, @Faith-and-Hope . @Shaz51 and Everybody 🙂

I took a pic of my silk-clad Bee-hive for Mazy yesterday, today isn't as hot and I've got the 'Do' dangling in a ponytail; so I decided to take another pic 😉

Love to All that need it, gratitude for all that give it
